He turned around, only to see Orson floating in the air, looking at him with a smile.

"Captain Mudrick, this is your gift, please sign for it."

Just now, when Mudrick turned around, Orson came behind Mudrick, and then used the sword that was still inserted in Mudrick's body as a conductor to release lightning magic, which exploded directly in Mudrick's chest.

Mudrick stared at Orson angrily, but could not speak.

Dark red blood continued to flow out from the huge gap in the chest.

Then, he fell down.

After the three-meter-tall huge body fell down, the ground shook slightly and made a noise.

Seeing Mudrick finally dead in front of him, Orson finally felt relieved.

Then he bent down and found Mudrick's storage ring on his body, walked up to Litt and handed the storage ring to her.

"Here you go, Lit." Orson said this with a smile.

"Is this what you want?" Then he handed Mudrick's storage ring to Litt.

"Yes." Upon hearing this, Litt took the ring that Orson gave her and nodded.

"Um...thank you, Orson."

"It's okay." Orson shook his head. "I was negligent in this matter. If I had known that Mudrick had connections with the devil and the cult, I would never have let you handle this matter."

At this moment, footsteps suddenly sounded outside.

Then, a well-equipped and gorgeous troop appeared in the woods.

They came out surrounded by a man.

Everyone looked over.

Surrounded by them was a dignified middle-aged man.

Orson recognized him. He was the commander of the imperial city garrison and an eighth-level knight of the empire. His name was Langdon.

Langdon walked forward with a frown, glanced at the people present, and then saw Mudrick's dead body lying on the ground.

After seeing Mudrick's strange skin, he showed a look of surprise.

Time goes back to the moment when Mudrick just took the potion and turned into a demon.

Litt was worried that Mudrick would do something bad to everyone, so he ordered his men to quickly return to the city and lead the guards here.

Although this incident was initially considered a private fight, it has now far exceeded the nature of a private fight.

Then, the subordinates ran to the city gate and informed the public of the appearance of the demon outside the city.

At first, when the soldiers heard the news, they did not believe it. However, when they saw the person who brought the news looked terrified and was willing to swear on his life, they had no choice but to believe him.

After all, the devil is no joke, and if you dare to make a false police report, the punishment will be quite severe.

The garrison soldiers then reported the news to higher authorities.

Finally, the news reached the ears of the garrison commander, Langdon.

Langdon was in his forties or fifties. The last time he heard the name "demon" was when he was a child. At that time, he heard that if you cross the desert where orcs live and go to the eastern part of the continent, there will be all kinds of strange races. They will come to the empire through the desert trade routes or sea routes.

Among those strange races, the demon race is undoubtedly the most ferocious.

They are born with strong bloodlines, but because of their aggressive nature and bad temper, they find it difficult to adapt to group life. Therefore, they are discriminated against by other races in the East Continent. They can only live in the harsh environment and the wild where few people go. Their numbers are decreasing year by year.

In fact, in the early years of the empire, it was invaded by demons. At that time, a brave man named Kyle appeared in the empire. He led his companions to attack the Demon King's Castle, killed the Demon King, and at the same time drove away all the remaining demons from the Western Continent.

After that, demons that had caused great harm to humans became species that were banned from entering the empire. If a demon was found in the empire, it would be killed without mercy.

"What's going on?" Langdon said, looking at Orson and others.

Orson had just helped Virgil up and fed him a bottle of potion. When he saw Langdon asking, he just shrugged.

"I don't know what happened either." Orson said, looking at Litt and Shi.

"Perhaps it would be better to ask these two."

"Forget it." Langdon said, and waved his hand. "Everyone, let's go back to the Imperial City and talk slowly."

Then, several soldiers came forward, carried Mudrick's body to a carriage on the road outside the woods, and then covered it with a cloth.

Blue

Deng walked up to the group of people and pointed at the carriage outside.

"Everyone, please get on the carriage first."

"Okay." Orson nodded politely after hearing this.

Next, several people got on the carriage back to the city.

……

On the other side, the city of Constantine.

The city of Constant is a satellite city near the city of Saint Laurent. It is very small with a population of no more than 50,000. The mayor of the city is a baron under the emperor.

The doctor was whistling as he strolled through the streets of Constantia, looking very happy.

Now, he has changed his clothes from a white suit to a white doctor's coat, and is holding a medical box in his hand, looking quite professional.

He had just accepted a task on the task list of the Adventurer's Association in the city.

Recently, Baron Drizzt in the city has been feeling unwell and has been suffering from headaches. No matter how he treated himself, he couldn't get better. Even if he invited a priest from the city to come, all he could do was relieve the pain.

So, Drizzt gave the Adventurer's Guild a task, offering a reward of one thousand gold coins to anyone who had some knowledge of medicine and could cure Drizzt's headache.

So the doctor took on this task.

After rushing for about half an hour, the doctor appeared in front of the Baron's mansion.

The soldier in charge of guarding the gate saw the doctor coming and stopped him.

"What do you do?!" the soldier asked.

"Ah, sir, I'm sent by the Adventurer's Association." As he said this, the doctor took out the task list he had received from the Adventurer's Association.

"Here, please take a look."

The soldier glanced at the task list in the doctor's hand, carefully read the seal of the Adventurer's Association on it, and nodded.

"I see. I'll go and report it."

Then the soldier turned and walked into the mansion, and a minute later he came out again.

"Lord Drizzt has agreed, you can go in." The soldier said this and prepared to walk into the Duke's mansion with the doctor.

Entering the living room, a pale, extremely thin young man was sitting on the main seat. He was supporting his head with one hand, and his face did not look good, as if he was trying hard to endure some pain.

"You are the doctor who is going to come and see me?" Trist said this, opening his eyes and looking at the doctor.

"Yes." The doctor bowed respectfully. "Lord Drizzt, I have been traveling around and practicing medicine for ten years. I have some experience in treating difficult and complicated diseases. I think I can be of some help with your condition, Lord Drizzt."

"Okay." Hearing this, Drizzt stared at the doctor carefully for a long time before finally nodding. "Well, let's go inside first."

Having said this, he stood up with the help of the handrail and walked towards the inner room.

Hearing this, the doctor nodded and followed him.

"Lord Drizzt, the Duke's mansion is so big, but I don't think you have hired many servants?"

"Ah..." Trist paused after hearing that, and then said, "I like quietness. After my father passed away a year ago, the servants hired by our family are all hourly workers. They go straight back home after finishing their work."

"Oh, you are not like other nobles who treat servants as their own private property." The doctor said this with a smile.

"Hehe." Trist just smiled and didn't say much.

"By the way, Lord Drizzt, you look almost thirty years old. Don't you have a wife at home?"

Upon hearing this, Drizzt stopped where he was, turned around and looked at the doctor.

As if stimulated by something, his tone became a little stiff.

"You're a doctor, not here to check my family background, right?"

"Ah, sorry, I was rude." The doctor said this and bowed to Drizzt. "It's just that when I was practicing medicine, I used to find the cause of the patient's illness from the patient's previous life. If this is too offensive to you, I apologize."

"...It's okay." Seeing the doctor's sincerity, Drizzt just shook his head and said nothing. "For some reason, I didn't marry a wife."

Then, the two went upstairs and came to the second floor, which was Trist's bedroom.

"Then let's talk here first. It's not very convenient down there just now, and I'm not feeling well now." Trist said this, lying on the bed, and motioned the doctor to sit down.

The doctor also nodded, then closed the door and sat in the guest seat.

"Please tell me, when did your symptoms start?"

"Okay..." Trist nodded after hearing that.

……

"So, this is what happened?" Sitting in the interrogation room, Langdon looked at Litt in front of him and asked.

"Yes." Li Te nodded. "It's true that we asked Mudrick out because of some personal grudges, but Mudrick's subsequent actions have completely crossed the line. I suggest that we conduct a thorough investigation of anyone who has had contact with the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group before."

"I see." Langdon nodded. "Then, Mr. Leete, you can go back now."

"Okay." Lit nodded, then stood up and left the interrogation room.

Just now in the carriage, Orson told Litt, Virgil and Lion how to make their confessions. After learning the details from Litt, he made up a suitable confession.

Previously, Litt's adoptive parents in the countryside were kidnapped by people from the Iron Wolf Mercenary Group. Therefore, in order to find out who was behind the incident, Litt took the initiative to find Mudrick. However, because he was worried about Mudrick's seventh-level strength, Litt had to ask Shi to be his bodyguard.

Afterwards, seeing that he could not gain any advantage over the lion, and was even unable to defeat it, Mudrick had no choice but to drink the magic potion.

Then, Orson happened to pass by and was attracted by the sound of fighting. He rushed here and together with the lion, they subdued Mudrick.

"Orson, you are the last one." After Litt came out, he glanced at Orson who was still sitting outside, and then said.

"Okay." Orson nodded after hearing this.

Then he walked into the interrogation room.

This time, there was not only Langdon sitting in the interrogation room, but also a familiar figure.

"Princess Elsa?" Orson looked at Elsa with a surprised look.

"Why, are you surprised to see me?" Elsa smiled.

"I am sitting next to Knight Commander Langdon as a royal juror this time. I won't say much, I'll just take note." Elsa said this in a relaxed tone. "Master Orson, please don't be shy. This is the procedure of the imperial interrogation."

"I know." Orson also nodded with a smile. "In that case, let me tell you what I saw."

Orson told the two interrogators about his "experience".

After Orson finished speaking, Langdon nodded and then looked at Orson.

"Mr. Orson, what you said is basically the same as what the previous speakers described."

He continued, "But I have a question, why did you happen to be there when it happened?"

"That's right." Orson had expected Langdon to ask this question, so he said calmly, "Actually, Leete had kept this secret from me before, but I still heard about it from someone else, so I was worried and followed him."

"Is that so?" Langdon nodded. "Then the interrogation ends here. Master Orson, you may go back now."

"Okay." Orson was about to get up when he heard this, but Elsa beside him spoke.

"Master Orson, now that the interrogation is over, I would like to ask some questions, is that okay?"

"Of course, Your Highness," Orson replied politely.

"You, are you at level seven?"

"Yeah." Orson nodded. "I had already reached the seventh level, but I didn't think it was necessary to announce it."

"However, after this incident, I believe everyone should already know it."

"Congratulations, Mr. Orson." Elsa said this, and there was unexpectedly a different meaning in her tone.

It's like, jealousy.

You know, a few months ago, when she was promoted to a sixth-rank magician, the royal family held a special banquet for her.
